Challenges with sandbox testing

Have you ever encountered a situation where you have personalized a page and need a business user to test it before deploying it to production, only to find that the user is unable to access your sandbox for testing?

This is a common limitation with sandboxes, as any non-admin users don’t have necessary privileges to get through sandbox. What we have been doing (until now) is either assign “Application Implementation Consultant” role or any other admin roles such as “Human Capital Management Application Administrator” to the user and revoke it later, but not any more now.

In this article, we will explore alternative solutions that enable users to complete sandbox testing without requiring admin privileges. We will provide detailed guidance on how to overcome this obstacle.

1. Create a custom role (one time setup)

To solve this issue, we need to create a custom rule that grants access to view or edit any sandbox. This abstract role only needs to be created once, you can follow below steps to do so:

Navigate to : Tools » Security Console » Roles » Create Role

On Create Role : Basic Information page, enter details as follows and click on Next button

• Role Name : AVI Sandbox Access – View Only
• Role Code : AVI_VIEW_ONLY_SANDBOX
• Role Category : HCM – Abstract Roles
